The NACC Qualifier Event conducted at CruiseCon has produced a winner.
Darren Lacoste from Orlando, who will be playing in the semi-final round at
GenCon 2009 Indy. Our best wishes go to Darren as he moves up in the NACC.

Also, a podcast from our Pulpgamer.com pals. The podcast is a great account of the CruiseCon event from several perspectives, and is surely worth a listen. Here's a little summary from their website and a link to the podcast below:

We are sailing the open seas with Gamer Adventures, Mayfair Games, Fear the Boot, and 4500 of our closest friends. Forty-one of us signed up with Gamer Adventures to cruise the Caribbean, play some board games to include a qualifying Settlers of Catan tournament, drink rum, explore Jamaica, the Cayman Islands, Key West, and of course our originating port, Fort Lauderdale. Listen in on our experience and be sure to join us next time.

We are joined by Larry Roznai of Mayfair Games, Kim Maita of Gamer Adventures, Dan Repperger of Fear the Boot, and the winner of the latest Settler's of Catan qualifying tournament, Darren Lacoste.
